GlossaryVasculitis

inflammation of blood vessels causing potential tissue damage

Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels, which can cause them to thicken, weaken, narrow, or scar. This condition can disrupt blood flow, leading to organ and tissue damage. It can affect any blood vessel in the body, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, and may result from infections, autoimmune diseases, or an unknown cause.
